I'm not sure your distinction has any material significance here. As others have pointed out, the referee is there to stop the fight and the fighters are trained to continue until the such a time.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoYeah. In war it's either you kill or you will be killed, so what do you expect in something that is meant to simulate that.
- harimau777 3y agoIn war there are rules of engagement. Finishing off a downed enemy is a war crime.
- datavirtue 3y agoTo people that train there is a clear distinction between "martial arts" and not martial arts. You can put away your dictionary.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoWhere do you train that they don't consider mma martial arts.
